This solution addresses the high costs of existing CICD options for dbt.
MyDataWork POV — Open sourcing a dbt and Snowflake guardrail for coding agents is a significant step forward. It directly addresses the cost barrier in CICD options by allowing local verification of changes. This democratizes access to essential safeguards, enabling smaller teams to maintain data integrity without breaking the bank. The real win here is empowering data engineers to experiment and iterate without fear of unintended consequences while saving costs. This could be the catalyst for more agile and confident data engineering practices.
